Suzy Stumbles Over Travel: Week of April 4, 2011

By

Back home and fighting jet lag, I bring you this week’s Suzy Stumbles Over Travel. In case you are new here, each week, I ask writers and readers to submit their favorite travel posts of the week. I read each submission, comment, stumble the post using Stumbleupon, tweet the article on Twitter and I post a link to the piece on my Facebook page. The following week, I select my five favorites submitted last week and the stumbling begins again.

Just a few things to keep in mind, please only submit one link per person each week. You have until the end of the day on Friday to submit. A link to the article must be left in the comment box below. Be sure to follow me on Twitter, subscribe to my stumbles on Stumbleupon and “like” me on Facebook to make sure I give your post the attention it deserves.

The 5 Favorites of Last Week

“No Place Like Home??” From Virginia Downing

Submitted by Virginia

Virginia tackles home, a place many travelers can’t easily define. She presents all of the different places where she feels those emotions of home, proving you can find home as close as your backyard or as far away as Barcelona.

“Woken By Explosions at 5AM in Honduras” From Vagabond Quest

Submitted by Dina

The title of this post had me worried for Vagabond Quest. However, the traveling duo proves that places we hear so much about being unsafe are sometimes not always what they seem. Festivals and celebrations turn fears into appreciations for local friendliness.

“10 Free Things To Do in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia” From Lash World Tour

Submitted by Lash

Lash presents an incredibly complete list of things to see and do in Kuala Lumpur for those without heaps of money. What I really appreciated about her list are the activity you might not always consider in a city, from the best place to people watch to wandering through artists’ workshops.

“How To Become a Gelato Snob” From 1000 Fights

Submitted by Mike and Luci

If you have been to Italy, you have probably had gelato at some point. However, not everyone knows what all of those tasty flavors are. Some might just point to what they want and call it a day. However this post is a good gelato guide, detailing most gelato flavors you might see.

“The Definition of Success” From Hecktic Travels

Submitted by Dalene

Pete and Dalene are asked to come to a Career Day at a local school and discuss their exciting lives as travel bloggers. While they might feel inadequate in terms of success, the eyes of children see something different. The message here can be applied to anyone. Success doesn’t always mean making oodles of money.

Don’t forget to leave a comment here with your submission for this week. You have until the end of the day on Friday to submit.

  10. Thanks so much Suzy for picking my post! There are always sooo many free things to do in cities, but most travelers don’t know about them. Since I cycle around and spend so much time when I visit a place I uncover all sorts of fun things to do. cheers, Lash

  15. Hi Suzy,

    I really enjoyed your Belfast post at the weekend. My submission this week comes from another former war zone, Sierra Leone. I just got back from there last month and had an amazing time. I spend one of the weeks I was there at an eco-tourism project called Tribe Wanted. It was a fantastic experience and I would love to see more people going there so I wrote a post about it. Anyway, here is the link…

  16. Hi Suzy, thank you so much for liking our Honduras post and featuring it up here!! Honduras gain the reputation of one of the most dangerous countries to visit (outside the countries in war), and it’s true for some part of the country. However Copan and Roatan Island are so different. Because of those places, Honduras is one of our favourite countries now! (Beside NZ, Turkey, and Greece)
